Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and legacy of the enigmatic Victorian intellectual, writer, and later activist, Piers Ashton. This examination is situated within the complex political and social context of Victorian England, a time of sweeping social and cultural transformation. In particular, the book explores the ideological cross-currents of the time, as political movements and social revolutions were fought for and ultimately won. The author also considers the impact of Ashton's personal circumstances, mapping his journey from bright-eyed progressive to disillusioned revolutionary as his close encounters with the bohemian intelligentsia of Paris give way to his later commitment to a life on the frontlines of Europe's revolutionary movements. Ultimately, the book reveals the story of a man whose ideas and experiences in the 19th century continue to resonate today, offering invaluable insights into the nature of activism, revolution, and the human condition.
